To propose a rationale: hiding this element in CSS across hundreds of Wikimedia
wikis seems an inelegant solution. There aren't actually that many ways to
configure the contents of the login form. 

The other reasonable alternative here is to WONTFIX this bug, under the
assumption that for the third party use case, where a wiki is locked down and
requires an a sysop to create accounts for others, the sysops in question know
how to find with CreateAccount page without this CTA.
